The news doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes it can be funny.
Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me has been part of the WNYC and NPR schedules since 1998. Currently hosted by Peter Sagal, it is part interview show and part comedic news program. Both panelists and contestants are quizzed about the latest headlines while laughing along the way.
I’ve listened to the show a couple of times. It’s entertaining, but not enough to keep me coming back for more.
Do I recommend it? Maybe.

I think it was good at pointing out how ridiculous the news was. It makes for a more critical listener. Same with political satire. Watch: “Comedians have figured out the trick to covering Trump” – Vox, on YouTube; “Waiting for the conservative Jon Stewart” – The Atlantic. Going to listen to wait wait don’t tell me now. I don’t often but it’s great.
